Benjamin 'Ben' Small (born in 1971), is a British voice actor.
Small is best known for voicing Thomas in the UK version of the CGI episodes of the children's television series Thomas & Friends from 2009 to 2015.[1] Small also provided voices for Toby and Ferdinand in the UK version while voicing Rheneas, Flynn, the Troublesome Trucks and Owen in both the UK and US versions of the series.
In the US version, he voiced Stanley and Charlie, who are voiced by Small's co-star Matt Wilkinson in the UK.
